They've arrived, and they're hungry
Directed by Clayton Witmer

A dark sci-fi thriller about isolation and alien invasion that trades intimate character drama for mounting paranoia and body horror.
Set against a dreary small town, reclusive locksmith Ethan Daunes struggles to keep ties with his younger brother Shane.

After a string of unexplained killings, the creature's true nature is soon revealed, and Ethan finds himself at the center of panic and paranoia.
